TO- ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, J, E. CAMPBELL, of the city of Cii1cinnati,`countyof Hamilton, and State of Ohio, have invented a new and improvedBcd-Bottoing and I do hereby declare that thel following is a full andexact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings and to the letters thereon.

Figure l shows the connection to the bedstead. Letters A and are sidesof the double-sided. slot; letter D the Wooden pins.

Figure 2, side view of half section of the slot and bed rail, or board,attached to the rail with the Wooden pins in it.

Figure 3, view of slot up side down.

The nature of my invention or improvement consists in attaching a rubberring to the slat by Wooden pins, 4leaving the other side of the ringfree to be attached to a similar pin or pins in the bed rail, or in aboard attached to the inside of the rail.

The improvement consists in using a rubber ring of proper size, and inconnecting it to the slet with Wooden pins, dispensing with eitherrivets, clamps, or hooks, and the rubberA being much more elastic thangirthing, or that made from part rubber and part thread, which cau onlystretch the iength of the threads in it. And the 'improvement furtherconsists in the Wooden pins protruding through the slot, as shown atletter D of drawing, so that the Slat can be turned up side down, andused that way, so as to take the sagging out that -will of course getinto a Slat that has been used with only one side up.

What I claim as my invention, is

The two-sided slat, and the wooden pins running through it equally onboth sides, and the elastic rubber ring, ready to be attached to thebeilsteafl, as above ciescribed.
